MANuRE-PULVERIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 519,629, dated May s,1894.

Application tiled October 9,1893. Serial No. 487.647. (No model.)

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled inthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Our invention is a new manure pulverzer; and consists in the novelconstruction and arrangement of its parts, hereinafter set out in thisspecification and the claim hereto annexed.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of ourinvention. Fig. 2 is a top plan View, and Fig. 3. isa perspective viewof the cleaner.

Our invention is described as follows:

A, represents a box or bin wider at the top than at the bottom, thebottom a, is stationary being secured to the end pieces ot', of the bin.Said bin is supported onvfeet a2. In the center of the pin is journaleda cylinder B, provided with arms b, (only one of which is lettered.)These arms b, are spirally secured on the said cylinder. The axle ofsaid cylinder is provided with a crank handle b. In the sides (13,1%, ofthe bin A, are secured pins b2, in such position that the pins b, maypass between them when the cylinder is rotated. At the bottom of thewall c3, is lefta slot c, the entire length of the bin for thepulverized manure to fall through after it has been ground. On each endof the said wall a3, is secured a rabbet c', and in the groove of saidrabbet works up and down a door c2. This door is adjustable by means ofset screws c3,vso that the flow of the pulverized manure may beregulated. In the wall a4, and at its bottom is a slot or openingsimilar to the slot c2, the entire length of the bin. In this opening issecured a false wall c4, provided with cleaners d, which extend entirelyacross the bottom of said bin their ends terminating in hooks d. On eachone of these cleaners d, is vertically secured a rod d2, insuch'position thatthe pins b, of the cylinder B, will pass between them.Themanure is thrown into the bin in its rough state, and as the rods b,carry it around between the pins h2, and d2, it is broken and ground upand when it is sufficiently ground it passes out through the opening c.

When We wish to clean the bin we unscrew the thumb-screw e, andv drawback the false lWall c4, which brings with it the cleaners d,

and the pins d2, the hook ends d', scraping the bottom clean. Thecleaners are then cleaned and returned tO their place.

Y With this machine we can take the roughest manure and in a short timepulverize it suflciently tine to be used for manuring ground for anygarden truck. The process of grinding the manure thoroughly mixes it.

, Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is Y The bin A, provided with a stationarybottom ct, and longitudinal slots at the bottom of each of its walls a3,0,4; rabbet c', secured on each end of the wall as; door c2, adapted towork up and down in the grooves of said rabbets; false wall c4, providedwith cleaners d, having the hooked ends d', and mounted with pins d2;pins b2, extending from the inner walls of the bin, and cylinder B,journaled in said bin and provided with pins b, substantially as shownand described and for the purposes set forth. Y t

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
